The Smuggler

Lisbeth, a recently retired elderly woman, sets out to find the gun her father used in an unsuccessful suicide attempt in 1940 – a weapon that turned into a family legend. She boards a “therapy bus,” full of war-veterans’ children, travels through Finland where she meets an arms dealer, learns to shoot, seeks a witch’s guidance, all while moving toward the pistol - and her past.
